- Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary3.2 km awayTemple complex in a forest of banyan and long-tailed macaques. Nothing loose in your hands or pockets.
- Ubud Art Market3.3 km awayTextiles, baskets and carvings opposite the palace. Bargaining is expected and good-humoured.
- Campuhan Ridge Walk4.1 km awayAn easy paved ridge walk out of central Ubud through elephant grass. Go at first light.
- Tegenungan Waterfall5.7 km awayWide, easy-to-reach falls with a swimmable pool. The closest real waterfall to Ubud, and it shows.
- Tegallalang Rice Terraces10 km awaySteep terraced valley worked by the subak irrigation system. Go early — the light is better and the coaches have not arrived.
- Tirta Empul12 km awaySpring-fed purification pools where Balinese families still come to bathe. A sarong and a change of clothes are needed.
